    Quill is fine but overhyped. The search is good, the sync is bad, the price is worse.

    Quill crashed and corrupted a note. Backups saved me but this shouldn't happen in a notes app.

    Quill's onboarding is confusing and the documentation doesn't cover sync setup at all.

    Quill pricing went up again. Loved it at launch, but $12/mo is too much for me now.

    Quill is fast but the lack of mobile sync reliability makes it a non-starter for my workflow.

    Quill keeps crashing on my old laptop. Performance is rough on low-end hardware.

    Wish Quill were open source. Great app but I don't trust a closed notes app with my second brain.

    The Quill sync bug bit me again. Lost edits after switching devices. Be careful.

    Quill's docs are seriously lacking. Spent an hour figuring out how templates work.

    We rolled Quill out to the whole team. Setup was painful and the docs are missing half the features.

    Quill is closed source and that's a dealbreaker for me. Looking for an open alternative.

    The pricing model killed it for me. $12/mo for notes I could keep in plain markdown? No thanks.

    Quill crashed three times today on a large vault. Performance falls apart past 10k notes.

    Quill pricing is too high
    $12/mo is ridiculous when Obsidian is free. The app is nice but not that nice.

    The sync feature is unreliable — lost a note yesterday after a conflict. Scary for a notes app.

    Quill's markdown export is broken for nested lists. Reported it twice, no response.

    The pricing jumped to $12/mo which feels steep for a notes app. Otherwise solid.
